Netflix has changed the way viewers consume television and has made binge watching shows a norm. With Valentine's Day coming up, several Latin stars go back and remember the series that had them hooked. "'24', I think I watched it in 3 days," the star of "Ingobernable," Kate del Castillo, said. "It was fascinating to see what they were starting to do on TV and it was incredible to see it took place in real time." Alfonso Herrera of the series "Sense8" said: "I watched 'The OA' from start to finish, without stopping, with a box of tissues at the end."
From the new series "Altered Carbon," Martha Higareda added: "Stranger Things was the first one I watched completely in one go. I finished at midnight." Spanish star Sergio Mur of "Las Chicas del Cable" and "Papá A Toda Madre" threw it back to the analog days. "Mine was in analog format with the Rocky VHS tapes," he said. "In the living room of my house with my parents watching four movies in a row." "Orange Is The New Black" star Dascha Polanco said: "It lasted for about 6 hours, non-stop. I watched all of Jessica Jones in one single night."
